Abstract
ABSTRACTWe are a team of citizen science volunteers and academics presenting a case study about how long‐serving Old Weather (OW) project volunteers left the leading citizen science platform, Zooniverse.org, and created their own opensource transcription tool to capture meteorological data from historic ship logbooks, for climate science. This project, built in LibreOffice Calc (hereafter LOC‐OW) marks a transition from a hierarchical model of crowdsourcing to a co‐productive model in which the roles of the volunteers and the original project owners shifted, the volunteers gained expertise and developed a sense of ownership over the data production tools and process.
